Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra sweetness: Use a slightly sweeter lemon-lime soda, or add a drizzle of honey or agave nectar.
- Strawberry Power: Use a mix of fresh and frozen strawberries for a thicker, more intense strawberry flavor. If using only frozen, let them thaw slightly before adding.
- Ice Cream Choice: Experiment with different ice cream flavors! Strawberry, raspberry, or even a hint of mint would be delicious.
- Garnish Game: Elevate your float with a fresh mint sprig, a few extra strawberries, a maraschino cherry, or a sprinkle of edible glitter for a touch of sparkle.
